Qiu Zijin stared at Li Teng'er with vigilance, like a cat protecting food.

Li Teng'er raised his head slightly as if he had declared war, then turned his face away, and smiled at Chu Mubai with a charming smile: "Shicai left in a hurry, and I forgot to tell General Chu a sentence." ”

"What?"

Li Teng'er blinked: "You come here with your ears." ”

Chu Mubai hesitated a little: "The princess has something to say." ”

Li Teng'er's expression was grim, and he said solemnly: "It's a matter of confidentiality, is it difficult for me to say it directly in public?" ”

"Good words don't avoid people, avoiding people don't have good words, Brother Mubai don't fall for her tricks." Zijin was wary of Li Teng'er and sneered mercilessly.

Chu Mubai wanted her to go and return, presumably there must be something important, but after a little thought, he obediently clung to it.

Li Teng'er rode on horseback, his riding skills were extremely exquisite, as soon as he stepped on the stirrups with both feet, most of his body leaned towards Chu Mubai, a slender hand on his broad shoulder, and glanced at Qiu Zijin provocatively, lightly opened his lips, and exhaled like an orchid.

"On the way back, Princess Ben has already thought about it, Qiu Zijin deliberately appeared on top of the city tower, so that Princess Ben could see her, she was clearly demonstrating to me, telling Princess Ben that all this is your plan, so that Teng'er will stay away from you. So no matter what, this princess will come back to avenge this anger and hatred, and add a little blockage to her heart. ”

Chu Mubai was a little inexplicable, he didn't understand a woman's twists and turns, let alone the eccentric Li Teng'er.

He was stunned, and before he could react, the aroma of his nose was lingering, and he felt a delicate and wet touch on his face, like a breeze, a little numb, and a little itchy.

But it was just a dragonfly, and before he could react, his surroundings were empty, and Li Teng'er had already turned his horse's head, hooked his lips and smiled at him, and left again.

"General Chu, we'll have a meeting later."

Whipping the horse, the delicate figure, accompanied by the sound of laughter, sprinkled all the way.

The soldiers behind him were all stunned, and their faces were full of envy. Chu Mubai was so intimate with a girl for the first time in his life, and he was also caught off guard.

Qiu Zijin looked at Chu Mubai with a stunned expression, as if he was still unsatisfied, a nameless anger suddenly rose, snorted angrily, shook the reins fiercely, and rushed out first.

Chu Mubai stood in place for a long time, and the deputy general stepped forward to remind: "General Chu, are we going now?" ”

Chu Mubai came to his senses at this time, and waved his hand vigorously: "Let's go." ”

The three thousand cavalry drove out, mighty, and soon caught up with Qiu Zijin, and returned to Chang'an all the way with smoke and dust.

Chu Mubai pursed his thin lips tightly, and his face didn't look very good. Qiu Zijin was sulking in his heart, and seeing that he was silent, he also hurried away without saying a word.

The sun has set, and the air at the border has turned cool, which is a good time to walk.

Only Chu Mubai seemed to have been fished out of the water, sweating profusely, riding on a horse, a little shaky.

Qiu Zijin went hand in hand with him, and gradually felt that something was wrong, he wanted to ask, but he didn't want to take the initiative to show favor, and he was angry, so he listened to the "poof" sound around him, and Chu Mubai actually fell down immediately.

He was an iron-clad man, and this frightened everyone at once, and Qi Qile dismounted, pounced forward, and lifted him up from the ground with all hands and feet, and saw that his face was flushed, his eyes were closed, and he had fallen into a semi-coma.

Qiu Zijin was so anxious that he was at a loss: "He looks like this, isn't he just falling for Li Teng'er's demon girl's plot?" ”

The adjutant general looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and commanded the people below without hesitation: "Set up camp on the spot, and go into the city to find a doctor." ”

Fortunately, there was a town near here, and someone was immediately ordered to ride into the city, and in a short time an old doctor came over in a hurry.

The soldiers set up their tents, Chu Mubai had already woken up and turned around, Qiu Zijin was anxious to stay in front of him, and naturally couldn't help but complain twice.

The old doctor stepped forward, looked at it and inquired, and wrote lightly: "It's just chickenpox, don't make a fuss." ”

Qiu Zijin was anxious on the spot: "Is chickenpox still a small problem?" It's so light. And who have you seen with chickenpox that is so menacing? ”

The old doctor saw that she was fierce and vicious, where did he dare to provoke, and he begged for mercy repeatedly: "Lao Er just said that although the general's illness is urgent, it is easy to treat, and there is no intention of neglect." ”

Chu Mubai coughed lightly: "Zijin, don't be rude." ”

Qiu Zijin has always been obedient to Chu Mubai, and immediately closed his mouth obediently.

Chu Mubai reluctantly sat up: "It's been hot for two or three days, but I'm busy on the road, so I didn't say anything, but I didn't expect it to be chickenpox." In this case, then ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription, the medicine is more effective, don't delay the march. ”

The old doctor boldly said: "Chickenpox is different from common typhoid fever, and if it is not treated properly, it is also life-threatening. Adults really need to recuperate from this condition, and they can't see the cool breeze. Also, chickenpox is very contagious, and idle people must also avoid it, otherwise if the disease spreads to so many people, it will be tricky. ”

The doctor's words are by no means alarmist, whether children or adults, there are not a few people who die every year because of chickenpox.

"You can't be in a hurry like this." Qiu Zijin immediately retorted.

Chu Mubai's lips were pale, and he looked sickly, but he shook his head stubbornly: "My body is not in the way, hurry up and go back to Beijing, the situation in Beijing cannot be delayed." ”

The adjutant general below didn't dare to persuade him, and compromised: "Riding a horse is categorically impossible, so prepare a carriage for General Chu?" The road is smooth, and it doesn't get in the way. ”

Chu Mubai nodded: "Prepare a face towel for me in addition, which should be thicker." I commanded my soldiers to stay away from me and not to come near my carriage and tent. ”

The deputy general received the order and immediately went to do it non-stop, everyone dispersed, only Qiu Zijin insisted on staying in the tent to take care of him, angry and distressed, and Shicai's anger had long since disappeared.

Chu Mubai took the face towel and covered it on his face.

Qiu Zijin snatched it down: "This is not conducive to the recovery of the condition." ”

Chu Mubai looked at her with slightly hooked lips: "You're not afraid of being infected by me?" ”

"Don't be afraid," Qiu Zijin muttered in a low voice: "It's good to be infected, then Li Teng'er is so close to you along the way, if you get infected and go back and have a pockmarked face, see how she can seduce people?" ”

Chu Mubai shook his head helplessly, turned over and got up, alive and vigorous, where is there still such a sickness as Shicai.

"What are you up for?"

Qiu Zijin asked in surprise.

"I'm not sick, but I'm pretending."

"Pretended?" Qiu Zijin became more and more surprised: "Then, that doctor didn't say ......"

"I let him give him two taels of silver, and I lied to you."

Qiu Zijin was full of worry and anxious, and immediately annoyed when he heard this: "Why? It's so anxious to harm people in vain! ”

Chu Mubai had a serious face, and said to Qiu Zijin: "The emperor sent someone to give me a secret letter, the Chang family has been standing still, and Chang'an is now calm and calm, and there is no change." Moreover, the emperor enabled King Chen to dispatch troops and horses, and sat in Chang'an, so he should be fine for a while. He asked me to find a way to hide from everyone, sneak into Xiliang, and find out some news. ”

"I'll go too!" Qiu Zijin took the initiative to ask for help without thinking.

Chu Mubai shook his head: "I have already thought about it, the situation in Beijing is unstable, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so I used this golden cicada's escape technique." In a few moments, someone of my size will come in and pretend to be me, ride with you along the way, and lead the soldiers back to Beijing.

You help cover up, don't leak any rumors, and just keep your door closed after returning to Beijing. The Chang family knew that I was going back to Beijing, even if I was sick, I would not dare to act rashly. ”

"No way!" Qiu Zijin said resolutely: "If you want to find out the news, I will go." There are many people in the Xiliang soldiers who know you, what if you recognize you? ”

"I'm not going to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den, I'm just going to a place to verify one thing. You will be able to return to Beijing in a few days. What's more, I have been guarding the border for so many years, and I know this place well, and it is still easy to hide my identity. ”

"What is it, so secret, that you have to sneak into Xiliang in person?"

Chu Mubai smiled with relief: "It's indeed a secret, so you must hide my whereabouts, and don't let the Chang family notice the clues, otherwise the Chang family and Xiliang have been colluding, and I may also be in danger." Your responsibilities are just as great, you know? ”

Chu Mubai frightened Zijin with a few words, and Zijin nodded reluctantly: "Then you must return to Beijing as soon as possible, and be careful of the demon girl Li Teng'er." ”

Chu Mubai patted her shoulder: "I know it in my heart, don't worry." ”

Qiu Zijin pursed his lips and snorted lightly: "You know, it's strange, when I see her, I'm so fascinated, Shicai has been stunned for a long time at the border pass, and his soul is not giving up." ”

"It's just a strange thing that I'm stunned." Chu Mubai explained helplessly.

"What's the matter?"

"Li Teng'er is so cunning, why would he easily fall for our scheme? As soon as he received the letter, he was convinced, and immediately rushed back to Xiliang in a hurry. And as soon as she sees you, she immediately understands that she has fallen into a trap, how can she be so sure? ”

Qiu Zijin was originally a simple-minded girl, and she didn't want to bother thinking about these tricks, so she replied casually: "This is the careful thinking of a woman's family, and it is the most sensitive. ”

Chu Mubai shook his head: "I feel that it may just be that we are crooked." ”

"What's crooked?"

"That is to say, the situation above the Xiliang court is not as peaceful as we seem, and it may be as treacherous as Chang'an. Maybe someone was really fighting the idea of this batch of bows and crossbows, so Li Teng'er would believe it and immediately rushed back non-stop. As for the specific reason, I have to go to Xiliang to find out. ”

Qiu Zijin didn't understand these power struggles, and he was a little ashamed of himself in front of Chu Mubai, so he lowered his head gloomily and reluctantly agreed to what he explained.
